About

So we didn’t quite reach our goal, but don’t be too bummed out!

Thank you to everyone who supported our Kickstarter project! It is unfortunate we did not reach our target, but we did learn an incredible amount from all of you. We still believe in our product, so we are going back to the drawing board on a few items and incorporating some of the great ideas and feedback we have received.

We will re-launch the updated product range soon, likely in a reduced form and probably under a different brand name. Thank you again for all your support throughout the campaign!

We look forward to re-launching an even more awesome product that includes all your great ideas.

Cheers,

Ben

Hi Kickstarter!

We are really excited to be here launching our first project. If you are passionate about riding bikes and capturing the experience we believe you are going to love the klamp product range.

Exciting and unbelievable moments happen when we are on our bikes; sometimes some footage would be good proof to back up our stories at the bar.

Action cameras are everywhere, allowing us to capture technical downhill runs, our favourite single track, or great shots of our buddies on the trail; but, their technical convenience lacks finesse and control over the shots you can get. As active riders we understand that with the right camera and mounts, we can have creative freedom to capture the unbelievable moments of our ride, with the quality they deserve.

We were tired of returning home from our amazing riding trips, in truly spectacular country, only to find we had managed to gather almost no usable footage. From inception klamp has been about riding and sharing our experinces. klamp mounts are simple, flexible and robust. Created with incredible materials including carbon fibre and titanium, our purpose is to produce better action shots and highly functional products.

That’s why we created klamp – the world’s best mounting solution, designed by riders, built for riders.

We’re stoked with the product range and we think you will be too. If you are a rider with the need to capture and share your most unbelievable and adrenaline pumping moments then help us take klamp from an amazing prototype to a production reality.

Truly First, Patented Features

The klamp camera arms are
truly an industry first design; containing a sealed 8-way indexer, our
mounts give you more freedom to choose how you frame your shots.

Relocating the camera arm is quick, easy and requires no tools. klamp camera arms are available for
GoPro, Garmin VIRB, Sony Actioncam and Shimano cameras.

Our Expertise & Qualifications

Our lead designer has developed military equipment for
use by some of the world’s premier Special Operations units. He understands function
and because no self-respecting operator in the Special Operations community
will use anything less than the best equipment; he is a master of form.

His previous clients are
some of the toughest people on earth and are equally tough on their equipment. As a special thank you to the Kickstarter
community, and because we are confident of the durability of klamp products, we are offering a Kickstarter special 3 year unconditional warranty!

Mil-Std Testing

The
term MIL-STD is often thrown around but rarely understood. Our background
in designing and delivering military products, means we can stand by this
statement and so can you. Visit www.klamp.co to learn
more about Military Standard testing.

Advanced Materials

The klamp range
is designed using many of the materials previously used exclusively in the military
sector. Carbon fibre co-polymers, titanium and Mil-Spec hard anodised
6061 aluminium. It is our attention to detail that has made us successful
in the military sector and our klamp products
are no exception, even the screws
used throughout are titanium. klamp products
contain no exposed steel to rust, or brittle plastics to shatter.

The klamp range allows you to attach your cameras, cycling computers, Wi-Fi
remotes and lights anywhere you can think of. The complete range is
interchangeable, allowing cameras and accessories to be moved between mounting locations
quickly, without tools.

We have several full sets of our product range, which we continue to test internally. These prototypes have all been made with the final manufacturing process in mind so we are confident we can turn them into awesome, final products. Years of designing and delivering specialist military equipment has given us access to some valuable global contacts, expertise in production and the backing of proven, high quality suppliers.

We wanted it to be super simple to back our project, so for Kickstarter only, every item is just $19.00! You can buy a grab-bag of how ever many items you want! And the more you get the cheaper they are.

After Kickstarter you will have the chance to tell us exactly which items you want in your grab-bag!

International backers
need not worry about additional shipping costs. We have a flat $10 shipping no matter
where you are in the world, or how many items you order. We have
pre-arranged distributers in the US, UK and Australia, to handle the first
production runs and deliver with speed, safety and reliability.

A Special Thanks

We would love to thank
our family, good friends, and everyone who has ridden with us and helped along
the journey so far. The support, feedback and positive encouragement
has been awesome.

Risks and challenges

klamp is complete with prototyping and production costing. We are ready to put klamp into production. Your KickStarter funding will go towards tooling and the initial production run.

Producing great consumer products is never easy, but we are confident in our abilities to deliver this project on time and with great quality. Our previous experience in manufacturing military equipment has prepared us for the unforeseen challenges we may encounter during the production process.

We have previously manufactured certified, military-grade products with the same suppliers we have lined up for this project; which means we already have established quality control and testing procedures in place.

Keep in mind there are always issues that can arise during an initial production run, such as having to commission multiple iterations during the tooling process, delays to the supply of key components, or difficulty sourcing the high quality titanium or carbon fibre that we require. Our proven suppliers are all ISO 9001:2008 certified and have an amazing record in delivering tooling and materials on time, and on spec. It is just a potential issue worth mentioning.

During the initial production run we will have the opportunity to work with the final spec materials, in particular the urethane dampers. We will continue to work on fine tuning the dampening for specific cameras. The vibration dampening is intended to reduce camera shake and resonance, to increase the quality of your precious memories. The final decision on inclusion and design of this feature in the production products will be made with this key goal in mind. This kind of fine tuning during initial production is a normal and accepted practice in any new product development cycle.

Despite all of this, our target delivery date is December, 2014. We would love to ship earlier and we will work hard to make this happen. We are committed to making a product that is awesome both in form, function and quality.

We have our suppliers ready to go and with your support we can make this dream come true.
